Vic TAFE deal sounded 'alarm bells'

A TAFE employee has told an anti-corruption investigation in Melbourne how "alarm bells" sounded after the organisation entered into a contract with a third-party trainer.

The Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission is investigating agreements between two TAFEs and non-registered training company TayTell over suspected fraudulent student enrolments between 2013 and 2015.

"Some students had phoned in to complain they'd received a Certificate IV in engineering and couldn't understand why," former Bendigo Kangan Institute sales and business development manager Coralee Hayden-Long told the hearing on Tuesday.

"And that sounded alarm bells."

Ms Hayden-Long admitted the organisation had not made inquiries after learning TayTell director Rebecca Taylor had her own engineering qualification rescinded by South West TAFE, deeming her ineligible to assess students.
